As director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons for eight years, I understand the challenges of planning to safely and cost effectively house inmate populations that are constantly changing. That's why I believe further context is needed around recent coverage of the partnership between Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, and the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) at the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility, which requires a minimum occupancy level for women's housing units that are opened at the facility.
